(c++) (external) How to I connect a pointer and an offset

[KimJohnUn]

Hello yall,

I am having trouble binding the pointer and the offset in c++

The game I am trying to hack is Assault Cube

What am I doing wrong???

// MemoryEditing.cpp : Defines the entry point for the console application.
//

#include "stdafx.h"
#include<iostream>
#include<Windows.h>
#include<string>

using namespace std;


int main()
{
	DWORD localplayer = 0x00509b74;
	DWORD health = 0xF8;
	SetConsoleTitle(_T("AssaultCube Exploit"));
    //int readTest = 0;
	HWND hwnd = FindWindowA(NULL, "AssaultCube");
	if (hwnd == NULL)
	{
		cout << "Cannot find Window." << endl;
		Sleep(3000);
		exit(-1);
	}
	else
	{
		DWORD procID;
		GetWindowThreadProcessId(hwnd, &procID);
		HANDLE handle = OpenProcess(PROCESS_ALL_ACCESS, FALSE, procID);
		if (procID = NULL)
		{
			cout << "Cannot find Process." << endl;
			Sleep(3000);
			exit(-1);
		}
		else
		{
			int CurrentAdress = 0;
			ReadProcessMemory(handle, (PBYTE)(localplayer) + health, &CurrentAdress, sizeof(CurrentAdress), 0);
			//cout << "The view value was set to ";
			cout << CurrentAdress << endl;
			system("pause");
			cout << CurrentAdress << endl;
		}
	}
    return 0;
}

You will have to read the pointer first, add the offset to the value you have read and then read from there to get health.

Please may I have an example

Please may I have an example

this is the function i made to find the pointers, this ones for ammo. uses a for loop, reads the base address/ammoAddr, then takes what it read and adds the first position of the ammoOff array which is 374 and reads it again, then adds the second element of the array which is 14, reads again and then adds 0 and its done. ammoAddr now has the address needed for the array

void getPointers(HANDLE hHandle, DWORD& ammoAddress)
{
	DWORD ammoAddr = 0X00509B74;
	DWORD ammoOff[3] = { 0x374, 0x14, 0x0 };
	int ammoArrySize = sizeof(ammoOff) / sizeof(ammoOff[0]);

	for (int i = 0; i < ammoArrySize; i++)
	{
		ReadProcessMemory(hHandle, (LPCVOID)ammoAddr, &ammoAddr, sizeof(ammoAddr), NULL);
		ammoAddr += ammoOff[i];
	}
	ammoAddress = ammoAddr;
}

With using Pointer AND Offset you have to go deep, the most are doing Pointer + Offset but thats false because that would cause changing the pointer itself and would NOT work there will be no error but it doesnt work.
This is really working its my code for a game it took me some time when i did this first time

then why does the other method work then eh?

You need to read game + localplayer offset to get localplayer.
